The details for the other state qualifiers will be confirmed later in the year.  

Christine Johnson commented, “Racing Queensland and Magic Millions committed from day one to continue to expand the Queensland Off-The-Track Cup. The increase in prizemoney to $100,000 reflects that commitment as we aim to recognise and incentivise equestrian men and women who invest in the retraining of retired racehorses for a showjumping career after racing.

“The Queensland Off-The-Track Cup awards the largest prizemoney pool in Australia for an individual showjumping class exclusively for retired racehorses. We look forward to welcoming all entrants at the first QOTT Cup qualifier on Sunday, 22 June at the Peachester Lodge Festival of Showjumping.”

The Queensland Off-The-Track Cup final will be held as part of the ultimate day of equestrian sport – the Magic Millions Polo & Showjumping. Included in the line-up for 2026 will be the Juniors Individual Showjumping and the Seniors Team Showjumping combined with a thrilling afternoon of Polo.

Katie Page-Harvey, “The Queensland Off-The-Track Cup prizemoney pool increase to $100,000 takes the overall showjumping prizemoney pool awarded at the Pacific Fair Magic Millions Polo & Showjumping to a remarkable $1.56 Million – the largest prizemoney pool in Australia.

“Magic Millions is grateful for the ongoing support of Racing Queensland and Queensland Off-The-Track to ensure we continue to expand the profile of the retrained thoroughbred racehorse and increase prizemoney incentives for the QOTT Cup. Good luck to all the Queensland entrants in June, we look forward to welcoming the successful qualifiers to Magic Millions and the Gold Coast in January next year.”

Racing Queensland’s partnership with Magic Millions compliments the support available for all horse sport disciplines and levels of competition through the QOTT Event Sponsorship Program.
